Virtual private servers at vpsFree

I'm using vpsFree service to host Slax website and also for the build server, and I have to say that I'm quite happy with it. If you consider getting a virtual private server (VPS), be sure to check them out. Their name (vpsFree) may seem a bit misleading indeed, since the service itself is not free of charge. The word "free" means freedom here, they don't do it for money, they do it because they love the technology. Everything, that is going on, is discussed publicly on the mailing lists, you can see into it all and if you like, you can join in and participate too.

For something around $10 per month each user gets 4GB of RAM, 120GB storage and 8 CPU cores. If you compare this with other commercial VPS providers, you will surely realize this is a pretty good deal.

I got the service completely free of charge, since the guys behind vpsFree are supporting Slax this way, to keep the website live. So I decided to write a blog post about it here, to provide some advertisement in return, as a thank-you :)

Very good idea. I find that Slax is a wonderful little system that is most suitable for installing on clouds server

If I ignore the occasionally bad English and the one typo I saw, they look good. I don't want to manage my own server any more, even just for Wordpress and some little things, but if I did I would use them for sure.. maybe just because they support Slax. =)
